More
“What I want is more.
More and more, from the ceiling to the floor
And door to door
I want big house, big family, I want not poor.
Why wait for—“
No. You don’t want that petty chore
You can’t war
You won’t battle for that you say you adore
Can’t have more
Broken pieces of now, never mind what’s in store
“It’s my score
Don’t tell me I can’t, I deserve it and what’s more
My life’s tore
My situation made me this beast, hurt and sore
That’s what it’s for
I never had, and now I’m asking for just a chance more”
That’s just lore
If that’s all you are, a product, what’s that brain for?
What’s choice for?
Why bother begging if you’re only a product of being poor,
Blood and gore
Those movies that you watched, magazines from a store
Rotten core
That’s not the reason you were given life for
There aren’t any things that will make your heart soar
You’ve yet been given so much, and yet you ask for more.
